Congresswoman says some senators 'Neanderthals' Posted: August 24th, 2009 09:26 AM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) -- As President Obama begins his vacation in Martha's Vineyard this week, the fiery debate over health care reform continues to rage.

The latest member of congress to wade into the issue is California Rep. Maxine Waters, a liberal Democrat who at a town hall over the weekend implored the president not to drop the public option plan and said his efforts at bipartisanship are futile.

"Yes, we know that you are a nice man, that you want to work with the opposite side of the aisle. But there comes a time when you need to drop that and move forward," she said. "We're saying to you, Mr. President, 'Be tough. Use everything that you've got. Do what you have to do. And we have your back.' "

The longtime congresswoman, whose district includes much of Los Angeles, also described some senators who are opposed to the health care reform bill as "Neanderthals."

“senators who are opposed to the health care reform bill as “Neanderthals.”

So easy even a caveman could do it.

I doubt that a gorilla CAN spell ‘neanderthal’.

“Yes, we know that you are a nice man, that you want to work with the opposite side of the aisle. But there comes a time when you need to drop that and move forward,”

They have absolutely NO INTEREST in working with the GOP and haven't even attempted to! I am getting sick of this lie! They couldn't get this load of garbage passed because of their own party opposition!

Hmmmm, Maxine is - shall we say - thought challenged even on her best days.

Translation: She’s do dim, she sucks dark.

As I understand it, Neanderthals were a species separate from homo sapiens, but they were primates, of course. So it’s like calling someone a baboon or a monkey. I thought that wasn’t allowed in polite society.

Ol’ Maxine is into name calling. She doesn’t work well with others, does she. Not very enlightened or professional.

That is a specist argument she has made.
